Hydration is the secret elixir behind youthful, glowing skin. When skin becomes dry and lacklustre, it can add years to your appearance and sap your confidence. Thankfully, with the right treatments, you can revive your natural radiance and turn back the clock.
Join us as we explore how Profhilo, moisturiser extraordinaire, can transform your skin’s hydration and enhance your overall look. But first, let’s examine why hydration matters so much for your skin.
Understanding Skin Hydration and Its Importance
In short, proper hydration is essential for elasticity, smoothness, and a healthy glow. Otherwise, skin becomes dry, flaky, and more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. Well-hydrated skin also protects you against environmental factors, such as pollution and extreme temperatures.
That is why it is important to understand the factors that influence skin moisture in order to prevent premature ageing:
Age: As we grow older, skin naturally produces less oil and hyaluronic acid, which contributes to dryness.
Climate: Extreme weather conditions, whether cold or excessive heat, also strip moisture from the skin unless it is properly protected.
Lifestyle: Lifestyle choices such as smoking and poor diet may also lead to dehydrated skin.
Skincare routine: Finally, not moisturising properly or using harsh products containing abrasive chemicals may adversely affect the skin, creating dryness.
Maintaining hydration involves more than applying surface-level products; effective treatments should also support moisture balance from within.
Profhilo Benefits: Why It Stands Out
The difference between Profhilo and traditional dermal fillers is that Profhilo improves skin quality by boosting hydration and triggering collagen and elastin production from within while dermal fillers’ main purpose is to add volume.
Here are some key benefits:
Deep Hydration: It has a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that attracts and retains water in the skin, promoting intense hydration at the deeper level of the dermis.
Skin Tightening and Lifting: Profhilo improves firmness and elasticity - the slow release of Hyaluronic Acid stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Natural Results: It spreads uniformly under the skin, with no unnatural bumps.
Minimal Downtime: Some people experience mild redness or swelling, with results visible within a few days.
Suitable for Various Areas: It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to improve skin texture and hydration.
If you want to avoid invasive treatments, Profhilo is ideal as it delivers a subtle, yet effective rejuvenation of your skin without the pain of surgery.
How the Treatment Works
Profhilo is delivered in a series of small injections at targeted points, allowing the product to spread evenly beneath the skin's surface, hydrating and firming it from within. Profhilo, which contains the purest form of hyaluronic acid available on the market, attracts water molecules beneath the skin. This increases moisture content, improves elasticity and remodels sagging skin from the inside out.
Studies show that Profhilo increases hydration by 20% and results in 12 times more collagen and elastin in skin tissue.
Our therapists usually recommend two sessions four weeks apart. Thereafter, we advise top-up treatments at six-month intervals for optimal results.
What to Expect During and After A Profhilo Treatment
Duration: Each session lasts about 30 minutes, making it very easy to fit into a busy liefstyle.
Pain Level: Some of our patients describe feeling a slight pinch, so the treatment is generally well tolerated.
Side Effects: Depending on skin type, some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising. This usually disappears within a day or two.
Results Timeline: Visible changes in skin texture and hydration become apparent within 7-10 days.
This treatment ticks all the boxes for busy individuals: effective skin rejuvenation without a lengthy recovery period, with visible skin benefits.
Who Can Benefit Most from This Treatment?
This treatment suits a wide range of people, particularly those experiencing:
Early signs of ageing, such as fine lines and loss of skin elasticity.
Dry, dull skin lacking a natural glow.
Skin that is rough or uneven in texture.
Desire for a natural, refreshed appearance without fillers.
It is also a great option for those who want to improve skin quality in delicate areas like the neck and hands, which often show signs of ageing earlier.
Who Is Not Suitable
Profhilo is not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Anyone with an active skin infection or an allergy to hyaluronic acid should avoid it.
Always consult a qualified therapist.
Aftercare Recommendations
While Profhilo delivers excellent results, your daily skincare plays a key role in maintaining its hydrating effects. Therefore, harsh cosmetic products must be avoided, as they strip natural oils from your skin's surface. Those natural oils form the barrier that locks in hydration. Here are some more tips:
Choose moisturisers containing hyaluronic acid to help retain and promote hydration.
Apply SPF daily to protect your skin from extreme temperatures and sun damage.
Aim to drink two litres of water each day.
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as these dehydrate the skin.
These simple habits will support your professional treatments and help you maintain glowing skin.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does Profhilo differ from dermal fillers?
Firstly, Dermal fillers are thicker in volume. They contour, add volume to specific areas (such as the lips or cheeks) and fill deep folds. Profhilo is a lighter, flowing liquid that spreads out under the skin to remodel the entire face and neck. Its main purpose is to improve skin quality rather than contour or fill out the facial structure.
When will I see results?
Profhilo results happen gradually. Visible improvements in hydration, radiance, and fine lines are noticeable within 3 to 4 weeks of your first treatment. You will notice the full effects after your second session, and the results continue to improve over time.
How many sessions do I need?
We recommend 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart. If there is severe dehydration or sagging skin, some individuals may require a third treatment.
How long do the results last?
Profhilo results usually last 6 months, with regular top-ups advised every 6-12 months to maintain optimal results.
Is Profhilo painful?
The Profhilo technique consists of 5 injections with fine-tipped needles at specific points on each side of the face to facilitate even distribution. Most patients describe the feeling as a brief stinging or pinching sensation. Topical numbing cream is available if you are sensitive.
What is the downtime?
While some individuals experience slight redness, small bumps, or mild bruising at the injection sites, these usually subside within 24 hours. Do, however, avoid makeup, harsh products, saunas, and high-intensity exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
Where on the body can it be used?
Most commonly used on the face and neck, Profhilo is also superb for treating ageing, crepey skin on the hands, arms, and décolletage.
What does Profhilo do to your face?
Profhilo has one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid available in the market today. After injection, it spreads uniformly under your skin to moisturise from within, minimising fine lines and boosting collagen and elastin production. Overall, it visibly improves tone and firmness, delivering a super-hydrating boost to the deeper dermal layers. You can expect your skin to feel softer and look firmer with an overall plumped, dewy glow.
Is Profhilo better than Botox?
We can’t really compare the two as they both do different things. While Botox paralyses facial muscles to prevent lines and wrinkles from becoming more pronounced, Profhilo is a skin booster that strengthens skin from within and brings about a visible improvement in tone and texture. The results of Botox are visible almost immediately and typically last 3 to 6 months, but it does not improve your skin. Profhilo boosts collagen and elastin production to regenerate skin and improve sagging. While results are not immediate, you will notice continued improvement in your skin over several weeks. The results last from 6 to 9 months.
